He fascination with the computer as a tool for artistic creation began in 1986, when he introduced computers in the art department of the Financial Times, the first publication in the UK to use computers to create graphic images. He uses the computer as a drwing and painting tool. He also uses the extended eyes of the computer, the scanner and digital camera to record textures and images from nature and the city to fuse into his work as collage. Case works in the styles of twentieth century art; which he considers the greatest explosion of artistic experiment, quality and success in the history of art.

David Case co-founded Contemporary Artworks to publish art generated by the unique conjunction of the sophistication of the computer, the revolutionary inkjet printing process and artists of outstanding merit.
